Logistics: what do you do about dishes if you're hosting both seders?
I found myself wondering about this while clearing the table after the first *seder* this year (which was also Shabbat).

Most of the time, both in my family and in the group of friends I sometimes share holidays with, two different people host the two *sedarim*.  But occasionally the same people host both, either for logistical reasons or, recently, because of health considerations.  I'm wondering what people in observant homes do about the dishes -- how do you have enough clean dishes for the second *seder*?  Do people in this situation use disposables, or do you acquire enough dishes to do the whole thing twice, or do you wash them after nightfall on the second night and then start the *seder*?  I'd like to know what the practical options are before I'm in this situation myself (haven't been so far).
